"'Lick It'" is a song recorded by American dance music group 20 Fingers featuring singer Roula, released in February 1995 as the second single from their debut album, 'On the Attack and More' (1994). It also appears on 20 Fingers' self-titled second studio album and peaked at number-one in Italy. The song contains explicit lyrics that refer to cunnilingus. A black-and-white music video was also made.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote that a song like this "has lyrics that do not venture beyond adolescent humor and raunchy
chatter, with slammin' grooves and contagious melodies serving as the real attention grabber". He added that it "has singer Roula cooing and giggling on the joys of oral gratification." James Hamilton from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update described it as a "deadpan girl chanted 'Short Dick Man' follow-up's jauntily throbbed 127bpm" track.
Chart performance
The song achieved success in many European countries. It topped the Italian singles chart and was a Top 10 hit in five countries; Austria, Belgium, France, Germany (number four) and Spain (number four). On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Lick It" reached number six. On the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, the song peaked at number 72. In Canada, it went to number two on the 'RPM' Dance/Urban chart. However, its sales were lower than 20 Fingers' previous hit "Short Dick Man".
